Commented on Ping pong ball LED diffuser
If you want to save yourself some time and effort... Can't find them on their website, but Ikea has entire frickin' chandeliers make out of LEDs in ping pong-like balls. They have strings of them to (like xmas lights)....
Commented on Delhi getting 45km of monorail lines by 2010
